1 profile n logins

[alaios]

Hi. Take a look at my problem. I have a log in menu that users use it in order to authenticate. If he is registered then i create a new session from him. The problem is that if another user tries to log in with the same user name, then it wil be logged in succesfully!!! I only want to log out the first user

as in your previous post, u probably will need store your user's sessions in the database or in the file.
ofcourse unless I'm missing some php features

I do not get it ? either you are allowing the same username to be used more than once or you are authenticating purely against a username ? both bad ideas

[alaios]

telle me about this "uthenticating purely against a username"

[Celtboy]

in the username/password database, add a field called "logged_in."


When a user attempts to login:

if good username & good password:

[me']

just requiring a valid username to login, no password. Extremely unsecure.

The logged_in field is ok, but what happens if the user suddenly shuts down their browser. Next time they come back they would still be logged in in the db, and then not be able to login?

You could set it up so a small window pops up (using the same sessions on all the pages) which could reset the database value.

thats ok unless they have popups/javascript disabled.
